With the third Test ending inside two days, Team India players got some extra rest days. They are now preparing for the final Test in Ahmedabad, which begins on March 4.
The BCCI took to its official Twitter account to share pictures from Team India’s training session and captioned the post:
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be seen having a hit with the bat while left-arm spinner Axar Patel is working on his bowling skills. Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has also been captured looking to improve his fielding skills.
Team India go into the last Test with a 2-1 lead following their 10-wicket triumph in Ahmedabad.
The loss in the pink-ball Test means England have been eliminated from the World Test Championship (WTC) final race. For India, a win or a draw in the final Test will see them qualify.
Team India and England on opposing sides over Ahmedabad pitch
Even though a couple of days have passed since the premature end of the pink-ball Test, the controversy over the pitch refuses to end.
While Team India members have continued to defend the surface, a number of former England cricketers have hit out at India over the pitch preparations.
Responding to a query from a journalist over the surface used in Ahmedabad, seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin launched a stubborn defense at a recent press conference. He shot back:
Meanwhile, former England cricketer David Lloyd wants ICC to look into the matter. Lloyd wrote in his column for the Daily Mail:
Former England spinner Monty Panesar even stated that India should be docked points if a similar pitch is prepared for the final Test.
